No "uninstall" option for Blogger template install?

I need to uninstall Intense Debate from my Blogger blog.

I did a "template install" originally, which involved uploading a copy of my template to Intense Debate, where the system automatically inserted code.

However, the only "uninstall" option available is specific to "widget" installations. There is no "uninstall" option up right now for template installs.

I need to be sure that the code is removed from my template. I tried emailing my template to support but have not yet heard back.

Am I somehow missing an option somewhere?
 
sad I’m confused

    Sorry for the delay. I checked our database and we show that you used a widget install which is why you don't have the template install option. I'm not entirely sure how this got confused if that is indeed not the case. However please use these instructions to manually remove the IntenseDebate code from your blog template:

    1. Make sure you backup your template! You can do this by going to the Layout tab in your Blogger admin panel followed by the Edit HTML sub-tab. Select the Download Full Template option and save it to your desktop.

    2. Open your template file using any text editing program and save the file as "Modified Template." The purpose of this is to ensure that you have a backup of your original template in case you need to revert to it. You will be using the "Modified Template" file to remove IntenseDebate.

    3. You will need to locate the IntenseDebate code. To do this please use the "Find" command (on a PC use the command ctrl f , on a mac use the command apple f). Type in IntenseDebate.

    4. Remove anything inside the <!--IntenseDebate div to the end of it <!--/IntenseDebate. Search for all instances of that div and remove them.

    5. Now you need to search for <!--Intense Debate-PREID. Remove all instances of <!--Intense Debate-PREID and at the end remove the -->.

    6. Save the file as a .XML file.

    7. Upload your modified template to your Blogspot blog and check your blog to see that everything is in order.

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Thanks for your patience,
    Michael
